After the latest FOX class action suit, the Black guy who appeared yesterday on CBS This Morning with his lawyer, we now have a peek into what's going on.
What was his beef (which is now the common thread)? He wanted a bigger job at FOX and told his superiors that they needed to expand his role so that he could help them fight rampant Black prejudice.
Others stories are similar, they demanded bigger jobs (bigger pay) and were denied. But none really moved forward until blood was in the water with the O'Reilly firing, now it seems everyone is suing because they didn't get the promotion they demanded.
The women, now African Americans, all playing the minority card, all have the same charge - they weren't promoted.
Sad really, FOX actually had significant diversity, and the BIG exception, diversity in thought.
NOPE, just like you don't see whack job conservatives screaming at town halls, rioting in the streets, leaving messes after their protests, you won't see those lawsuits. Frankly it's a shame - if we really want respect and diversity in the marketplace, then wouldn't you think the Liberal MSM and even Liberal colleges would be ripe for these type of legal actions? One can hope.
Mark Levin keeps alluding to (unnamed) serious legal situations that are percolating at other network news operations. He implies that he has inside knowledge of these situations, that there are many of them, and that CNN in particular is dealing with one or more big ones.
He implies that these situations are well known within the biz, that sooner or later they are going to come to light, and that big on-air names are involved.
Get lost all of you!
It would be nice to see the scales balanced somewhat.
Even better would be a thorough swamp-draining of the litigation industry.
We sure live in an “entitlement” litigious society, UGH.
If the black Fox reporter in question is Kelly Wright, his further promotion may not have been due to race prejudice.
TV is a visual medium, show directors and producers have to make hard choices. It’s not fair or nice, but it is so.
Kelly doesn’t have a lot of on air charisma, he is approaching middle age, he is not particularly telegenic with that coal black toupee and his extra girth.
Lastly, Kelly is too quick to interpret a difference of professional opinion as being Race Based. Too quick to become offended.
These unpleasant facts may have more to do with his lack of promotion than what race he is.
The Media have become a circus. Its further destroying their credibility.
Everyone deserves a trophy.
Also, everyone deserves that “big promotion” and the “corner office”. It’s terribly racist not to pay everyone $10M a year.
Kelly Wright is in the wrong business. I think he’d do well introducing those faux Motown groups on PBS on Saturday nights.
OK, so competence and other relevant factors are involved, what are you a racist? /s
What were they before?
Rachel Dolezal needs to talk to them about to be become black.
Kelly Wright is freaking boring,too subdued,makes me fall asleep,I switch to game show network to stay awake.
I bet there are suits elsewhere we just don’t hear about them. They don’t help the medias agenda.
As to the minorities suing fox...Would it be too conspiratorial to think they wanted to get hired at FOX so they could sue one day? That this was pre-planned????
Sure makes for a easy payday.
People who think this is Fox News Thing are very naïve. If it’s happening at one network, it’s happening at all of them.
How does that explain Al Roker?
#FAIL at both extremes.
So how does he explain Charles Payne or Juan Williams or Harris Faulkner. Perhaps he is unable to realize that he wasn’t as talented as the others.
Al Roker is the Al Sharpton of NBC, and has been a prunefaced, loudmouthed thorn in their side for quite a long time.
If anyone looks at him funny, he will play his tattered old Race Card once again. Pride goeth before obscurity!
Once NBC does finally get rid of him, he will be left wondering why no one is contacting him about NBC Staff celebrations and photo ops. ‘I thought we were family!’
